Keelan and Kevin Were At Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway on November 8th 2025
Keelan Harvick, who turned 13 this past summer, was at Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway on Nov. 8, where he made his debut on the 0.58-mile track. He finished eighth in a 34-car field in the JEGS/CRA All-Stars Tour All American 100. Corey Deuser won the race.
"When COVID hit, I had nothing to do, so I asked my dad if I could go to the go-kart track and I've loved it ever since," Keelan said. "I got hooked on racing and my dad has supported me since then. I didn't know I'd be this far along in just a few years, but I'm really happy to be here."
Keelan was on the same track his father Kevin raced early in his career, which eventually included 60 NASCAR Cup wins, the 2007 Daytona 500 championship and three Brickyard 400 victories.
Keelan said the tracks he likes to run the most are those like Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway, for a couple of reasons.
"One, I just think it's neat to be on the same track he was on, and also because he knows the track and can tell me what to look out for," Keelan said.
What Kevin Harvick told his son about the unique Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway paved oval with an 18-degree banking was that it can be tricky.
"It's a very difficult track," Keelan said. "But I like that. I like being uncomfortable. It pushes you to the edge. And I like a track where you have to save tires, and you definitely have to save tires on this track. I'm pretty good at saving tires, sometimes."
Even tho we didn’t get the finish we wanted, my first time in a Late Model at Nashville Fairgrounds was pretty cool! I also got to check off another track Pops and I have both raced too!

I qualified 5th, but had to start 8th with the redraw. I worked my way into the top five… pic.twitter.com/L2a9yxby1k
